Loop over items not working

Questions

Can’t seem to figure out why. I have a loop elsewhere in the flow that is working, this setup looks the same to me, but it ins’t working…

Hi @maud97 Your Loop Over Items setup is structurally correct, so the issue is likely one of these common pitfalls:

  1. Input shape to the loop
    Loop Over Items iterates over items, not over an array inside a single item. If your Get ids for context enrichment node returns one item with an array of IDs, the loop will only run once. You need one item per ID (e.g. 3 items, not 1 item with an array).

  2. How you execute the workflow
    If you only “Execute Node” on something inside the loop, n8n will just run that path once and won’t actually iterate. Make sure you run the whole workflow (Test/Execute Workflow) when testing loops.

  3. Nodes inside the loop returning no data
    If any node in the loop path returns no items, the loop stops there and won’t continue. This is a common reason loops appear to “not work”. You can temporarily enable Always Output Data on Get rows for context enrichment, Context enrichment, and Prepend context to confirm whether one of them is dropping all items.

Let me know if this helps!
